BILL KITCHEN KNOWN FOR BUILDING AMUSEMENT PARK RIDES WAS ROBBED IN HIS WINDMERE LAKE MANSION. HE SAVED HIS LIFE BY GIVING THE MEN EVERYTHING THEY WANTED. KNOW THAT ANYTHING THAT IS IN THAT HOUSE CAN BE REPLACED EXCEPT YOUR LIVES. BILL KITCHEN SAYS THREE ROASHES DRESSED LIKE NINJAS, TERRORIZED HIM AND HIS PARTNER INSIDE THEIR WINDMERE HOME LAST WEDNESDAY FOR ONE HOUR. AND THEY SAID TO US, IF YOU COOPERATE NO ONE WILL BE HARMED. KITCHEN SAYS THE MEN JUMPED OUT OF THE BUSHES NEXT TO THE GARAGE AS THE COUPLE CAME HOME FROM DINNER. ZIP-TIED THEIR HANDS, TOOK THEIR CELL PHONES AND WALKED THEM AROUND THE HOUSE AT GUNPOINT, STEALING VALUABLES ALONG THE WAY. NEEDLES TO SAY WE SHOWED THEM EVERYTHING THEY WANTED TO SEE. KITCHEN WON'T SAY WHAT THE MEN STOLE FROM HIS HOUSE, HE DOESN'T BELIEVE HE PERSONALLY WAS THE INTENDED TARGET. I DON'T HAVE ANY INFORMATION AT ALL THAT WE WERE TARGETED.
